I got the Lian Li V-1200 case for a couple of months now and it's awesome. I was reading some mods of this case and most of the people cut out the mesh grill for the rear 120mm fan. I recently switched my rear fan from an exhaust to an intake fan and i also removed the external air duct for the fan....

i had the same problem as you. it is the thermal paste that is making the heatsink stuck to the processor. Just twist it back and forth to get it loose and then pull it out.

I think the main reason why i my case temp is so high is because the summer heat is beginning to take in effect. My room itself gets pretty stuffy so that's probably contributes to the case and the rest of the componets getting hot. I'm using Speedfan to measure my case temp however i do have temp p...
